by Greetings,
Just a quick note to let everyone here know of a new product that ought to =
further the acceptance of PostgreSQL as a serious mission-critical business=
database. We announced the launch today of a new product called OpenMFG -=
a sophisticated ERP system for small manufacturers that runs on PostgreSQL.
It's built with the Qt framework for C++ (400,000 lines) and also makes ext=
ensive use of PL/PGSQL for the ERP business logic. Qt gives us the ability=
to run the client on Windows, Linux, any other Unix, even OS X. We can ru=
n multiplatform on the server side as well, although we're currently happie=
st on Linux; when the native PostgreSQL for Windows port is done in 7.4, we=
'll support that fully as well.
Part of the Qt client work we've done is a fully cross-platform report writ=
er and rendering engine, which stores the report definitions in PostgreSQL =
in XML format.
If there are any manufacturing/ERP types on this list, and you'd like to ta=
lk, please give me a shout; we're doing some pretty interesting stuff - inc=
luding making source code available to our partners and customers.
More info on the software and the company is at www.openmfg.com. There's a=
press release at http://lwn.net/Articles/13366/.
Regards,
Ned
